Hello Everyone,
I'm new to Bacula and I'm having some trouble configuring an Autochanger
using the disk-changer script. I'm using Bacula version 1.38.11
installed from RPM on SuSE 10.1 (x86_64). I've gone through the "Brief
Tutorial" on the bacula.org site and everything went fine. Now I'm
trying to configure a virtual tape library using the disk-changer script
and I cannot get it to work. Here is the relevant bits of my config:
bacula-sd.conf:
[snip]
Autochanger {
Name = p912-sd:_var_backups_vtl
Device = p912-sd:_var_backups_drive0
Device = p912-sd:_var_backups_drive1
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/disk-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /var/backups/vtl
}
Device {
Name = p912-sd:_var_backups_drive0
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /var/backups/drive0
LabelMedia = yes;
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes;
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
Autochanger = yes;
Drive Index = 0;
}
Device {
Name = p912-sd:_var_backups_drive1
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /var/backups/drive1
LabelMedia = yes;
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes;
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
Autochanger = yes;
Drive Index = 1;
}
...
bacula-dir.conf:
[snip]
Storage {
Name = p912:_var_backups_drive0
Address = p912
SDPort = 9103
Password = "good_password"
Device = p912-sd:_var_backups_drive0
Media Type = File
}
Storage {
Name = p912:_var_backups_vtl
Address = p912
SDPort = 9103
Password = "good_password"
Device = p912-sd:_var_backups_vtl
Media Type = File
}
...
Communication is working fine between the Director and Storage daemon.
I've found that if I remove the 'Autochanger' directive from the Storage
resources in the bacula-sd.conf file I can get the drives to work as
they should individually but not as part of the autochanger. Then if I
add the 'Autochanger' directive to the drives, the storage daemon starts
listing the following in response to the 'status storage' command:
...
Device "p912-sd:_var_backups_drive0" (/var/backups/drive0) is not open
or does not exist.
Drive 0 is not loaded.
Device "p912-sd:_var_backups_drive1" (/var/backups/drive1) is not open
or does not exist.
Drive 1 is not loaded.
...
Then if I attempt to label a tape in the drive it gives an error
complaining that '/var/backups/drive0' "Is a directory".
Does anyone have an idea as to what I'm doing wrong? I would greatly
appreciate any help! If I left anything relevant out, please let me
know.
Thanks.
